Sustainability Solutions to Share with Linchpins # 59

I’m sharing “million dollar” creative sustainability ideas.

You can go to work offended by the idea that you might traffic in placebos. You can be certain that your aromatherapy, jewelry store, engineering consulting, stereo gear or home improvement practice is 100% performance-based, completely driven by specs, immune to a double-blind study. Or, you can embrace the fact that human beings are 94% […]
